You are cordially invited to our spring exhibition, “In Situ”. Looking very at home in his environment is this magnificent leopard, part of a new collection by Kenyan artist Karen Laurence-Rowe. Artists work in their studios, at home or ‘en plein air’ and their art piece at that moment is created ‘in situ’. Customers usually buy art…
It seems a long time ago since we were open by appointment in December. Now our doors are closed and things are eerily quiet in line with government guidance. Firstly, we hope that you, our customers are keeping safe and well and finding positive ways to fill your days. And secondly, we remind you that…
This small but poignant clay sculpture by Annalie Odendaal sums up 2020. But we are so grateful for all the support by you, our fantastic customers, who have visited this year – both our physical gallery and our website. Your interest and purchases have kept us and our artists afloat, and more than ever, small…

Lovely Laura – that’s what I call her. No trip to Stellenbosch would be complete without a visit to Laura du Toit. A stone’s throw from the vineyards and restaurants; the tourists and Uni students, Laura lives quietly and comfortably in her modest home set in a pretty and leafy garden, with her studio attached. …
